Eichel scored a power-play goal on four shots and went 12-for-22 (54.5 percent) on faceoffs in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel got all of a one-timer from the left faceoff circle to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead less than a minute into the second period. It was his 36th goal of the season, extending his career high, but his first point in the last seven games. Despite the brief scoring slump, Eichel's 78 points in 68 games have him on track to surpass the 82 he racked up a year ago.

Eichel, who was held without a point for the second straight game in Wednesday's loss to Colorado, didn't take a faceoff as he's nursing an upper-body injury, Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It sounds like Eichel will play through the pain as the Sabres try to rally for a playoff spot, though it's something to keep an eye on as it's rare he gets held off the scoreboard in back-to-back games. That said, Eichel's got 77 points in 62 games this season and should be in your lineup whenever he's on the ice, pain or no pain.

Eichel scored two power-play goals in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
His tally midway through the first period ended up being the game-winner, as Carter Hutton was able to stifle every Pittsburgh shooter except for Evgeni Malkin. Eichel extended his point streak to seven games, during which he's racked up four goals and 11 points, and he's now matched his career highs in power-play goals (10) and points (26) with Saturday's performance.

Eichel had a goal and two assists -- one on the power play -- in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel got his team on the board with his 32nd goal of the season in the second period. He then rekindled his chemistry with Victor Oloffson, who was returning from a lower-body injury. Eichel assisted on Olofsson's power-play tally in the third period then added a helper on Olofsson's overtime winner. The second overall selection from the 2015 draft is up to 32 goals and 73 points in 57 games, and Eichel has been held without a point only once in his last nine games and twice in the last 19.

Eichel picked up two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing a four-game point streak snapped Thursday against the Red Wings, Eichel was right back at it Friday. The 23-year-old has racked up six goals and 15 points in 14 games since the beginning of January, a pace that actually represents a downturn for him given his blistering early season production.

Eichel scored a goal in a 3-1 loss to Montreal on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
It was his 30th of the season, a plateau he hit for the first time in his career. Eichel is shooting well above his career average, so this pace is likely unsustainable. But if he keeps up his overall offensive excellence, Eichel could hit the 100-point mark for the first time. His talent is undeniable.

Eichel scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
Eichel notched his 29th goal of the season midway through the second period, banging home a loose puck when Ottawa goalie Craig Anderson failed to smother it. This established a new career high for Eichel in just his 49th game of the season. Eichel, who has 63 points, should also blow past the career-high 82 he registered in 2018-19.
